Corrosion in and on internal wires only adds a bunch of resistance - in return this heats up the wiring and what connected to. If all possible you could make proper splices or will have to replace/. Also as the wire corrodes it get thinner - the thinner the proper recommend gauge wire becomes the more resistance is produces along with heat..

Corrosion X is fantastic but if your wires are already corroded they need to be replaced.
